Im 21, will taking kids Vitamins give me the right amount of nutrients ?

Question

i really like the chewable tablets for vitamins..and wasnt sure if it was good enough for me?

Answer 1

I would absolutely have to say no.  I know that some people don't like taking "regular" vitamins, but as an adult it is very important that you give your body the nutrients it really needs so that you can be better functioning in the future.  I really don't believe that any of the vitamins that can be bought at your local pharmaceutical store are good enough.  Near where I live we have an alternative medicinary where we can purchase encapsulated Vital Nutrients-- depending on your needs these may or may not be right for you.  If you can find a naturopath (ND) in your area they will be able to better direct you.  Either way, there are much better vitamins out there for you!  

If you need any additional information I am a student at a naturopathic medical school and would be more than happy to help you with any resources you need or questions you have.  Good luck!

Answer 2

I take them and I am 25. Love the flinestones! Just as long as your are taking something.

But don't take them in place of your food nutrients. Still need your fruits & veggies!

Answer 4

Those vitamins are delicious. I love 'em too.

I actually take "grown up" vitamins now, but I think you could get away with taking the chewable tablets, if you want to.

You might need to take more of them, is all. Get a bottle of the "Grown up" vitamins, and a bottle of the kids vitamins and compare how much  of the daily recommended dosage is in the kids vs the adult supplements, and then do the math to figure out how many children's vitamins to take. And contrary to the opinion of the guy who was kind of mean, you CAN get children's vitamins that have iron in them.

My Father swears by Flintstones vitamins and still takes one every day!!!  He is an over the road Trucker and almost got his CDL revoked because he almost failed a stress-test - he started taking them and he's passed with flying colors every time!!!  He swears they help reduce the body's stress - and he's got the tests to prove it!
